Yes. It's the ugly side to the Prem. Sky love the saturation point. Sometimes I get sucked in, like watching a spinning Kebab whilst drunk and hungry!

Transfer sales are over £500m as well, though. So the sum total is something like £30m per club net, which isn't too crazy given that on average club revenues are north of £150m a year.

Yup, my wife when she saw the Pogba transfer fee nearly starting crying and she was really upset. She was thinking about the NHS, people around the world living in abject misery and poverty and then there are other people willing to pay money like that for a 'person to play a game'.
Also just for those who were kind enough to wish her and me well as a quick update I am happy to report she is currently recovering well in hospital after having one of her kidney's removed [and also it appears her histology report on another 'anomaly' removed at the same time is going to be good news according to the surgeon, just from a visual check of it].
I didn't know that about Strachan. However, I'm not convinced that the current board has the same motivation/rational. For now, I'm still going to keep faith in the model that has served us well. Don't get me wrong, I'd like a bit more excitement on transfer day, and the idea of signing Bony would of been exciting!
I thought Wee Gordon left because of the behaviour ( drugs maybe ) of a certain senior player .
The then chairman backed the player over GS , GS said I am off .
Allegedly .
The money is what it is, the product of an environment in which the game is incredibly lucrative grounds for broadcasters and sponsors. It's not insane relative to the rest of the sports world; compared to the major North American leagues it's still pennies, with the difference being that players are brought in via fees rather than trade. Football is merely beginning to catch up.
That may come into it, but the story is mostly that perennial issue of 'ambition'.
God knows why he's face palming?? I think it's been a poor window or maybe I'm missing something?
But to me our 1st eleven is weaker, can't believe we haven't gone in for a centre forward.
Take Romeu out of midfield aka Man U and our midget midfield is not physical or powerful enough.
Back four....no dependable cover for our CB's and obviously injury to Pied has left us weak at RB.
I think the club is interested in doing well in the Europa. They will want to keep KL happy...and she won't be impressed if we do embarrassingly. We may or may not do well, but it won't have anything to do with intention.
You could say that about almost any team outside of the top 6 in the PL and they would have their problems.
My fear is that the lack of spending, coupled with the silly formation will breed a lot of impatience in the fan base at any poor results. I really hope and believe we will start winning soon, and get some positive vibes back around. Otherwise, the doom-merchants will be out in full force.

Only way to avoid doom merchants is to keep off social media...though you can't avoid the fans sitting near you at the ground.My fear is that the lack of spending, coupled with the silly formation will breed a lot of impatience in the fan base at any poor results.
